The coat of arms of Alvdal was approved just after the [c2j88]
appendix top [c2j87] was issued, so it does not
appear in it. However, the municipal web site has some words on it (in my
translation):
Alvdal got its municipa arms approved with the royal resoltiuon of 25 Nuvember
1988. The arms have blue background with two slanted oprising silver skis. Helge
Ness from Alvdal has drawn the arms.
The explanation of the design continues:
During digging of drainage in Alvdal in 1906, a well-preserved pair of skis was
found. These were the first ski found in marshes in Norway. They are dated
500AD. These are among the oldest skis in Norway and preserved today in the Ski
Museum at Holmenkollen.
Alvdal is also proud on its sportsmen winning numerous awards in skiing...
